Livingston Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:09:00 +0000 http://www.aicgs.org/?post_type=issue&p=4863#comment-25723 Richard Fisher, whom the columnist George Will just the other day advocated as Secretary of the Treasury under a President Romney (although Fisher remains, I believe, a Democrat), presented wise and convincing arguments for why the United States and Europe should learn from each other how to deal with their fiscal crises. The United States had a harder time than Fisher maintains in getting its act together, its individual states under control. It was not by the 1840s, as Fisher said twice in the interview. The United States had to go through a civil war in the 1860s.
